In determining the value of all assets of the Fund as of a particular date (a "Valuation Date"), the following methods will be used. If any of the price or quotation-related information referred to in this Section 3.1 is not available for a Valuation Date, the applicable information for the most recent preceding date will be used.
3.2Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Determinations Conclusive. The value of each asset of the Fund and the Net Asset Value of the Fund determined pursuant to this Article 3 will be conclusive and binding on all of the Partners and all parties claiming through or under them absent bad faith or manifest error on the part of the General Partner.

4.2Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Tentative Share of Gains or Losses. General Gain or Loss. For each Period, the Units' percentage shares of Gains or Losses for purposes of tentative allocations to Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 4.4.2(a) will equal their respective Partnership Percentages at the beginning of such Period.

4.3.3
|
Incentive Allocation. The Incentive Allocation as to each Unit pursuant to Section 4.5 will be specially allocated to and assessed against that Unit.
|
4.3.6
|
Other Special Costs. Any expenditures payable by the Fund, to the extent determined by the General Partner to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, fewer than all of the Units, may, in the General Partner's discretion, be charged only to those Units on whose behalf such payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such payments.

Amount of Incentive Allocation. At any Incentive Allocation Time when the Fund has experienced new appreciation, the Incentive Allocation will be equal to the product of i) the Incentive Allocation Rate (as described in the next sentence) for the Fund; and (ii) the amount, if any, of the new appreciation. The Incentive Allocation Rate is ten percent (10%). "New Appreciation" shall be the total increase, if any, in the Net Asset Value of the Fund from the end of the last period for which an Incentive Allocation was earned (the "High Water Mark"). For purposes of determining New Appreciation, the total increase, if any, in Net Asset Value of the Fund, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, above the High Water Mark shall be determined without regard to (i)Β increases in Net Asset Value due to capital contributions (inclusive of subscription proceeds) and (ii)Β decreases in Net Asset Value due to withdrawals, distributions, or the Incentive Allocation itself. If Units are withdrawn when there is a loss carryforward for Incentive Allocation calculation purposes (that is, the current level of cumulative New Appreciation is below the High Water Mark), such loss carryforward shall be reduced in proportion to the proportion of the total outstanding Units withdrawn.

4.6Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Distributive Share for Tax Purposes. Items of Fund gain or loss recognized for income tax purposes will be allocated among the Units in accordance with the methods set forth in Section 1.704-3(e)(3) of the regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code. All other items of income, deduction, gain, loss, or credit that are recognized for income tax purposes will be allocated among the Units in accordance with their respective Partnership Percentages as of the beginning of the Period to which such items are attributable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner will specially allocate items of gain (or loss) to Units withdrawn during any fiscal year in a manner designed to ensure that each withdrawn Unit is allocated gain (or loss) in an amount equal to the difference between that Unit's Capital Account balance at the time of the withdrawal and the tax basis for the Unit at that time; provided, however, that the General Partner may, without the consent of any Partner, (i) alter the allocation of any item of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit in any specific instance where the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines such alteration to be necessary or appropriate to avoid a materially inequitable result and/or (ii) adopt such other method of allocating tax items as the General Partner determines is necessary or appropriate in order to be consistent with the spirit and intent of the regulations under Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code.
4.7Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Dividends and Distributions. The Fund does not anticipate paying dividends or making irregular distributions of capital appreciations to the Partners. The amount and timing of any dividends and distributions (other than pursuant to withdrawals) will be in the sole discretion of the General Partner and any such dividends and distributions will be apportioned among the Units and charged to their respective Capital Accounts in accordance with their respective Partnership Percentages.
4.8Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Special Allocations to Units of Persons Who Are No Longer Partners. If the application of Section 4.3.5 or Section 4.3.6 would result in any amount being allocated to a Unit owned by a person who is no longer a Partner, such person will be obligated to pay such amount to the Fund, upon demand by the General Partner, in cash, with interest from the date on which the General Partner determines that such charge is required, at a floating rate determined by the General Partner equal to the "reference rate" published from time to time by a bank selected in the General Partner's sole discretion, provided that (i) in no event will a former Partner be obligated to make a payment exceeding the amount of such former Partner's Unit's Capital
Β
Account balance as of the end of the Period during which the event giving rise to the charge occurred (as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion); (ii) no such demand will be made more than four (4) years after such former Partner ceased to be a Partner; and (iii) the General Partner may, by agreement with a Limited Partner, on behalf of the Fund, waive the right to recover such amounts from such Limited Partner. To the extent that the Fund fails to collect, in full, any amount from a former Partner that would have been allocated pursuant to Section 4.3.5 or Section 4.3.6, whether due to the expiration of the applicable limitation period or for any other reason whatsoever, the amount of the deficiency will be reallocated to the Capital Accounts of those Units owned by persons who were Partners as of the time the event giving rise to the charge occurred, in proportion to their Units' respective Partnership Percentages at the beginning of the Period during which such event occurred.
4.9Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Tax Withholding. To the extent the Fund is required by law to withhold or make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner ("Tax Advances"), the General Partner may cause the Fund to withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Partner will, at the option of the General Partner, (i) be promptly paid to the Fund by the Partner on whose behalf such Tax Advances were made or (ii) reduce any current withdrawal being made by such Partner (or, if no such withdrawal is being made by such Partner, be treated as a distribution to such Partner as of the last day of the Period which includes the date the Tax Advance was remitted by the Fund to the taxing authorities). Whenever the General Partner selects option (i), from the date ten (10) days after the receipt by the Partner on whose behalf the Tax Advance was made of Notice of the Tax Advance, the Tax Advance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law until repaid. Whenever the General Partner selects option (ii), for all other purposes of this Agreement, the Partner on whose behalf the Tax Advance was made will be treated as having received the full amount of such withdrawal, unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance. Each Partner xxxxxx agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and the General Partner from and against any liability with respect to Tax Advances required on behalf of or with respect to such Partner. Each Partner xxxxxx agrees to promptly give the General Partner or the Fund any true certification or affidavit that the General Partner may request in connection with this Section 4.9.
Β
4.10Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Reserves. Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued, and charged against Net Asset Value, as appropriate, for contingent liabilities (including contingent liabilities arising out of the Fund's obligation to indemnify the General Partner and its members, employees, agents, and Affiliates and advance expenses pursuant to Section 8.1) as of the dates the General Partner becomes aware of any such contingent liabilities. Such reserves will be in such amounts as the General Partner in its discretion deems necessary or appropriate. The General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time in its sole discretion.
4.11Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Foreign Taxes. For all purposes of this Agreement (including the allocation of foreign tax credits for federal and state income tax purposes), amounts withheld directly from the Fund on account of foreign or other taxes will be treated as if amounts had been received by the Fund on the date of withholding and distributed to the Partners on whose behalf such withholding is deemed made in a manner consistent with the allocation of dividend income. In such event, the General Partner will make such other adjustments in appropriate accounts as are consistent with this treatment.
5.1Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Voluntary Withdrawals.Β A Partner may withdraw their Units only in accordance with the following procedures and limitations and those set forth in Sections 4.4.2 and 5.4, unless the General Partner consents (which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion) to a deviation from one or more of such procedures or limitations: (i) a Limited Partner may not make a withdrawal at any time other than the last day of a calendar month; and (ii) a Limited Partner must give written Notice to the General Partner at least thirty (30) days before the proposed Effective Time of a withdrawal. Any withdrawal request that would result in a Partner having in aggregate Units with a Net Asset Value of less than $1,000 will be treated as a withdrawal in full.
Β
5.2Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Mandatory Withdrawals.Β The General Partner may, in its discretion, cause a partial or a complete withdrawal of a Limited Partner's Units by giving forty-eight (48) hours' Notice to the Limited Partner, if the General Partner determines or has reason to believe that: (i) such Limited Partner has transferred or attempted to transfer any portion of its Units in violation of the provisions of Article 11; (ii) such Limited Partner's continued ownership of its Units may cause the Fund to be in violation of, or require registration of any Units under, or subject the Fund or the General Partner to additional regulation under the securities laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction or the rules of any self-regulatory organization; (iii) such
Β
Β Limited Partner's continued ownership of its Units may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Fund or the General Partner, may result in the imposition of significant administrative or other burdens on the Fund or the General Partner, or may subject the Fund or any Partner to the risk of adverse tax or other fiscal consequences (including adverse consequences under ERISA); (iv) any of the representations and warranties made by such Limited Partner in connection with the acquisition of its Units were not true when made or have ceased to be true; or (v) it is otherwise in the best interests of the Fund, as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner, to cause such a withdrawal. In particular, if a Limited Partner is or becomes a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, or other entity whose beneficial ownership of its Units may be deemed to be beneficial ownership by the holders of outstanding securities of such Partner (a "Multiple-Owner Limited Partner") under paragraph (1)(A) of Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "ICA") at any time the Fund is relying on paragraph (1) of Section 3(c) of the ICA for exclusion from the definition of "investment company," the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause a partial withdrawal of such Multiple-Owner Limited Partner's Units to the extent necessary to cause such Multiple-Owner Limited Partner's beneficial ownership of its Units to be beneficial ownership by one person, within the meaning of such paragraph, or may cause the complete withdrawal of such Multiple-Owner Limited Partner from the Fund. Similarly, if a Limited Partner becomes an "employee benefit plan investor" within the meaning of applicable rules and regulations under ERISA (an "ERISA Limited Partner"), the General Partner may in its sole discretion cause a complete or partial withdrawal of such Limited Partner's Units to the extent necessary to prevent the Fund's assets from being considered "plan assets" within the meaning of ERISA. In the exercise of its discretion, the General Partner may cause the partial or complete withdrawal of the Units of a Multiple-Owner Limited Partner regardless of whether or not such Limited Partner was a Multiple-Owner Limited Partner or an ERISA Limited Partner at the time such Limited Partner became a Limited Partner or made any particular Capital Contribution and may cause such partial or complete withdrawal as to some Multiple-Owner Limited Partners or ERISA Limited Partner and not others. A complete withdrawal of a Limited Partner's Units mandated by the General Partner pursuant to this Section will be treated as a termination of the Limited Partner's participation in the Fund.
Β
5.3Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Death, Dissolution, Bankruptcy, or Legal Incapacity of a Partner.Β In the event of the death, dissolution, bankruptcy, or legal incapacity of a Partner, the estate or legal representative of such Partner will succeed to the Partner's right or duty to share in the gains or losses of their Units and to receive distributions from the Fund.Β The estate or representative may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be paid as of the end of the fiscal year during which the Partner died, became bankrupt, or became legally incapacitated, the value of such Partner's Units as of the end of such year in liquidation.Β Alternatively, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, admit the estate or representative to the Fund as a Limited Partner. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause a partial or complete withdrawal of such Partner's Units for any of the reasons enumerated in Section 5.2, after giving forty-eight (48) hours' Notice.
(a) The General Partner may, in its discretion, suspend or restrict the right of any Partner to make a partial or complete withdrawal, the calculation of the Net Asset Value of the Fund's assets, and the payment of any withdrawal proceeds at any time when: (i) such withdrawal would result in a violation by the Fund of the securities laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction or the rules of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Fund; (ii) any organized interdealer market on which a significant portion of the Fund's assets are regularly traded or quoted is closed (other than for holidays) or trading thereon has been suspended or restricted; (iii) disposal of the assets of the Fund or other transactions involving the sale, transfer, or delivery of funds in the ordinary course of the business of the Fund are not reasonably practicable without being detrimental to the interests of withdrawing or remaining Limited Partners; (iv) there exists any state of affairs which, in the opinion of the General Partner, constitutes an emergency as a result of which liquidation by the Fund of its investment positions is not reasonably practicable or would be seriously prejudicial to the Fund and its Partners; (v) there exists any breakdown in the means of communication normally employed in determining the
Β
price or value of a significant portion of the Fund's investments, or of current prices on any exchange, market, or clearing organization, or if for any other reason, the prices or value of a significant portion of the Fund's investments cannot reasonably be promptly and accurately ascertained; (vi) trading in a significant portion of investments owned by the Fund is halted on any exchange, market, or clearing organization or any other act or event occurs which would make it difficult or impossible to adequately value the assets of the Fund, or, in the General Partner's opinion, it is not reasonably practicable to value a significant portion of the Fund's investments; (vii) the transfer of funds involved in the realization or acquisition of a significant portion of investments cannot, in the judgment of the General Partner, be effected at normal rates of exchange; (viii) it is not reasonably practicable to make an accurate and timely determination of the Net Asset Value of the Fund's investments; (ix) any withdrawal would cause a termination of the Fund within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code; (x) any event has occurred which calls for the termination of the Fund; (xi) none of the requests for withdrawals that have been made may be lawfully satisfied by the Fund in US dollars; or (xii) the General Partner determines in consultation with its tax advisors that the withdrawal could result in the Fund being treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.
(b) Any such suspension shall take effect at such time as the General Partner shall declare, but not later than the close of business on the next Business Day following the declaration and thereafter there shall be no determination of the Net Asset Value until the General Partner shall declare the suspension to be at an end, except that the suspension shall terminate in any event on the first Business Day on which: (i) the condition giving rise to the suspension shall have ceased to exist; and (ii) no other condition under which any suspension is authorized under this Partnership Agreement shall exist. Each declaration by the General Partner suspending the determination of Net Asset Value shall be consistent with such official rules and regulations (if any) relating to the subject matter thereof as shall have been promulgated by any authority having jurisdiction over the Fund as shall be in effect at the time. To the extent not inconsistent with such official rules and regulations as mentioned above, the determination of the General Partner shall be conclusive. Whenever the General Partner shall declare a suspension or reinstatement of the determination of the Net Asset Value, the General Partner shall notify Limited Partners within a maximum period of seven (7) days after the suspension or reinstatement. Following any reinstatement, the General Partner may allow any withdrawing Partners to rescind their withdrawal Notice to the extent of any portion thereof for which withdrawal proceeds have not yet been remitted or the General Partner may, in its discretion, complete any withdrawals.

(i)
|
(ii)
|
(iii)
|
if proper Notice of such withdrawal is received by the General Partner within the period specified in Section 5.3, the final Business Day of the fiscal year of the withdrawal.
|
The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause the Fund to honor withdrawal requests received after the dates specified in Section 5.1, but the General Partner will not be obligated to do so and may decline to do so in its sole discretion. In considering whether to do so, the General Partner will take into account the impact such withdrawal could have on the Fund's status as other than a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. The Effective Time of any mandatory withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.2 will be (i) the end of the second (2nd) day following the day on which the Notice of such withdrawal is given, (ii) such later time as the General Partner may specify in such Notice, (iii) as to any Limited Partner who has died, become bankrupt, insolvent or incompetent, as of the end of the Period in which such Limited Partner died, became insolvent or incompetent, or entered bankruptcy proceedings, regardless of whether the end of such Period is earlier than the date on which the Notice of such withdrawal is given, or (iv) as to a Multiple-Owner Limited Partner, the time as of which such Limited Partner became a Multiple-Owner Limited Partner, any time as of which the General Partner determines that such Multiple-Owner Limited Partner's ownership of its Units could cause the Fund not to be excluded from the definition of an "investment company" under Section 3(c)(1) of the ICA, or such other time as the General Partner may determine, in its discretion, which time may be earlier than the date on which the Notice of such withdrawal is given.
5.4.4
|
Manner of Payment. The Fund shall make payments in cash. Actual costs arising out of the liquidation or transfer of Units necessary to effect any such withdrawal will be specially allocated to the withdrawn Units in accordance with Section 4.3.4. If all or any portion of any payment is made in investment assets, the General Partner will give instructions to transfer such assets to the transfer agent for such assets on or before the due date of such payment, and such assets will be valued in accordance with Section 3.1 as of the date on which the General Partner issues such instructions. The General Partner will have discretion to manage the Fund's assets after receipt of a Limited Partner's withdrawal request in a manner intended to result in cash being available for distribution to such Limited Partner in connection with such withdrawal, but the General Partner will not be obligated to liquidate Fund assets if the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines not to do so, either because such liquidation might, in the General Partner's judgment, be detrimental to the Units of the remaining Partners or for other reasons. The General Partner will have the discretion to segregate a portion of any assets of the Fund valued in accordance with Section 3.1 as of the Effective Time of any withdrawal equal to the amount payable to the withdrawing Partner with respect to such withdrawal. In the event the General Partner exercises its discretion to segregate Fund assets under this Section, the General Partner will also have the discretion to sell such assets for the account of such Limited Partner, in which event such Limited Partner will be entitled to the net proceeds of such sale (after payment of all expenses), which may be more or less than the amount payable to such Limited Partner as of the Effective Time of the related withdrawal, provided, however, that such Limited Partner will have the right, upon written demand, to receive a distribution of the segregated assets. Any Incentive Allocation due upon the withdrawal will be adjusted so that it is based on the Gains (if any) realized by such Limited Partner after the sale of such segregated assets.

For each Unit the monthly Management Fee will be one twelfth of one percent (1/12 of 1.0%) (approximately 1.0% on an annualized basis, assuming no Gains or Losses). The Management Fee for any calendar month will be calculated pro rata in the case of any Unit issued on a date other than the first Business Day of a calendar month. In the event that a Unit is withdrawn during a calendar month, the Management Fee will be reimbursed pro rata. The General Partner may waive, reduce, or defer the payment of all or any portion of the Management Fee as to any Unit.

No Limited Partner may, in the capacity of a Limited Partner, take part in the management of the business of the Fund or transact any business for the Fund, nor will any Limited Partner have the power to sign for or bind the Fund in their capacity as a Limited Partner.

The actions listed in this Article 10 and specifically identified elsewhere in this Agreement as requiring the Consent, written or otherwise, of one or more Limited Partners constitute the only Fund matters upon which Limited Partners will have a right to consent or vote in their capacities as Limited Partners, notwithstanding any provision of the Act. In particular, and without limiting the foregoing, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or in the Act to the contrary, Limited Partners will have no right to cause or to Consent or vote on (i) the removal of any General Partner, whether directly, by way of amendment to this Agreement, or otherwise; or (ii) except as expressly provided in Section 7.2 or Section 10.1.2, the admission or appointment of any additional or successor General Partner.

(b) actions specified in Section 7.2 as requiring the Consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners; and
(c) actions relating to a merger of the Fund and any other business entity(ies), but only to the extent such approval is required by the Act and cannot be waived by agreement among the Partners. To the extent any such requirement may be waived or modified by agreement among partners, the Partners intend to effect such a waiver and modification and to permit such a merger or other business combination upon the Consent of the General Partner without the consent of any other Partner.
10.2Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only upon the Consent of the General Partner and the Consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners, provided that the General Partner may amend this Agreement from time to time, without the consent, approval, authorization, or other action of any Limited Partner, if, in the opinion of the General Partner, the amendment does not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners generally; and provided further that no amendment may be adopted without the unanimous Consent of the Partners to the extent it would (a) change the Fund to a general partnership or change the limited liability of the Limited Partners under the Act, or (b) terminate the Fund's status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

All actions, votes or consents required or permitted to be taken by the Partners will be taken by the written consent of Partners holding in aggregate not less than the minimum Partnership Percentages specified herein as to the particular action, vote, or consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of obtaining any such consent as to any matter proposed by the General Partner, the General Partner may, in the notice seeking Consent of Partners, require a response within a specified period (which will not be less than fifteen days) and failure to respond within that period will constitute a vote and Consent to approve the proposed action. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the proposal for such action, any such action will be effective immediately after the required signatures have been obtained or, if applicable, the expiration of the period within which responses were required, if such requirement was imposed and there were insufficient votes cast against such action to prevent such action from becoming effective.

So the Fund may determine which Partners are, and in what proportion the Partners are, entitled to consent, receive any distribution, or exercise any rights, the General Partner may fix in advance a record date that is not more than sixty days before the date on which the first written consent is given and not more than sixty (60) days before any other action is to be taken.

This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely within the State of Delaware; provided that United States Federal law, including the Federal Arbitration Act, will apply to Section 14.12.
14.11Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Gender, Number, and Headings. As used in this Agreement, the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, as the context so requires; and the singular number will include the plural, and vice versa, as the context so requires. As used in this Agreement, Article and Section headings are for the convenience of reference only and will not be used to modify, interpret, limit, expand or construe the terms of this Agreement.
14.12Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Arbitration. Except for actions to determine whether Losses (as that term is defined in Section 8.1.2) for which the General Partner or any of its members, employees, agents, or Affiliates seeks indemnification under Section 8.1.2 arose out of actions or failures to act that constituted a willful violation of law by the purported Indemnitee and for which such indemnification therefore is not available, any controversy between or among any of the Partners or between any Partner and the Fund involving the Fund, this Agreement, or any subscription by any Limited Partner for Units in the Fund will be submitted to arbitration on the request of any party to any such controversy in the county, state, and/or country in which the General Partner maintains its principal office at the time the request for such arbitration is made or, if there is more than one General Partner, the county, state, and/or country in which the general partners with a majority in interest of the general partner interests maintain their principal offices at such time; (save where the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") is not applicable in the General Partners principal place of business, then any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be referred to an arbitrator in accordance with the arbitration laws of that applicable jurisdiction.) The arbitration will comply with and be governed by the provisions of the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA and no party to any such controversy will
Β
be entitled to any punitive damages; (save where the AAA is not applicable in the General Partners principal place of business, then any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be referred to an arbitrator in accordance with the arbitration laws of that applicable jurisdiction). Notwithstanding such rules, no arbitration proceeding brought against the Fund or the General Partner will be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding brought against the Fund or the General Partner without the Fund's and the General Partner's consent. Judgment may be entered upon any award granted in any such arbitration in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county, state and/or country in which the General Partner maintains its principal office at the time the award is rendered (or, if there is more than one General Partner, the county, state and/or country in which the general partners with a majority in interest of the general partner interests maintain their principal offices at such time). By signing this Agreement, each Partner agrees to waive their right to seek remedies in court, including any right to a jury trial; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph will constitute a waiver of any right a party to this Agreement may have to choose a judicial forum to the extent such a waiver would violate applicable law.
14.13Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Covenant to Sign Documents. Each Partner will execute, with acknowledgement or affidavit if required, all documents and writings reasonably necessary or expedient in the creation of the Fund and the achievement of its purpose, including certifications in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 1446 regarding withholding taxes on foreign persons.
14.14Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β No Waiver. A Partner's failure to insist on the strict performance of any covenant or duty required by this Agreement, or to pursue any remedy under this Agreement, will not constitute a waiver of the breach or the remedy.
14.15Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Group Ownership of Units. Units may be held jointly by husband and wife as community property, or by husband and wife or by unrelated persons as joint tenants or tenants in common, as shown on the signature page of the applicable Subscription Application or in the Fund's books and records. In any multiple ownership case, the Fund and each General Partner will be entitled to consider any Notice, vote, check, or similar document signed by any one of the persons in the ownership group to bind all persons in the group.
